<p>The AOTA does not support any rankings of OT programs…they’re all required to maintain certification. Do you know what the basis of the ranking is? There are also rankings of PharmD programs but those are based on research funding, not quality of education. Since OT’s must pass a certicification exam in order to be licesnsed, I’m guessing that the majority of employers are more interested in that credential rather than the name of the school. It’s not like they’re going to pay more for an NYU OT vs. a WVU OT although the regional employers may know and favor certain programs. Btw, it seems that some of the most rigorous OT programs are offered by public schools and admissions are quite competitive!</p>
